Moving at the Speed of Love

Romans 12:2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
 
If you believe in Jesus you become
A citizen of Heaven, home of God.
But while you live on earth you still succumb
To all of its distractions and façade.
Don’t be so double-minded that you fail
To know the will of God, the King of all.
Instead renew your mind to higher scale
Through study of the word, in prayer recall.
No longer of this world, the language now
That you must learn is that of Heaven’s voice,
And once it’s in your head you will know how
To keep your mind on Him, His will allow.
            Now be transformed, my child, renew your mind
            To think and speak and be like Christ defined.

John 2:24 - But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men
 
The miracles that Jesus did were famed
Throughout the land from all who heard of Him;
The word was spread Messiah now was named
To liberate the nation’s hope once grim.
But He knew in the heart of every man,
That many sought to free themselves from Rome;
He’d come to do the will of God’s own plan,
To free their souls and not their earthly home.
Whatever your desire, Jesus knows;
He lives within your being through and through.
As you become like Him, the hopes you chose
Conform unto the Father’s hope through you.
            Christ won’t commit to you outside God’s will.
            Commit yourself to Him; with love you will.

Galatians 6:2 - Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
 
Within the corporate body of the church,
We serve and work as one before the Lord,
And should a member trip and start to lurch,
The rest need come in aide with one accord.
We bear each other’s burdens as our own,
For we ought love our neighbor as ourself.
No matter what we have, it’s all on loan
From no one less to us than God Himself.
This does not mean you lift the weight of death,
For let the dead take care of its own kind.
Pray to the Lord with Spirit as your breath;
He’ll tell you when to loose and when to bind.
            There is no burden when you share the load;
            In love you help your brother down the road.

Colossians 3:17 - And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
 
This morning dedicate your life to Christ,
For without Him you’d have no life at all.
You’ll never match the things He sacrificed,
And all He did for you both great and small.
The things you say and do, do in Christ’s name
With love and gratitude to God on high;
Your conscious faithfulness in peace will frame
The truth of Jesus as it does apply.
You’re forming in the image of the Son;
Your words and deeds are turning into His.
Here in the speed of love it’s not undone,
And grows into the essence that He Is.
            Each moment keep the Savior in your mind;
            Give all you Have to Him, and Him you’ll find.

Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
The peace of God, where understanding fails
Removes all anxious thoughts and fearful heart.
The love of Christ replaces worry’s scales
And makes His home in you to ne’er depart.
Lean on His every word, call out His name,
For God our Father seeks relationship.
Your prayers and supplications feed the flame;
With gratitude you form a fellowship.
Surrender all your cares, your trials and woes
Where on the cross those weights already lie
And rest unburdened in His pure repose
While all the world’s afflictions pass you by.
            You cannot understand God’s perfect peace.
            Believe this, though: you are His masterpiece.
